About GHRI Ratings

X

Good Housekeeping Research Institute (GHRI) ratings are based on laboratory tests conducted by our scientists at the U.S.'s foremost consumer products evaluation laboratory, and incorporate consumer feedback. GHRI is situated on the 29th floor of the Hearst Tower in New York City and is staffed by chemists, engineers, nutritionists, textile specialists, culinary experts, and other scientists.

Using state-of-the-art equipment, GHRI experts test consumer products — from microwaves to mascaras — for their performance, safety, and, with the help of volunteer testers, ease of use.

Established in 1900, before there was a Federal Drug Administration or a Federal Trade Commission, GHRI has always been the most trusted source consumers can rely on to choose products that are safe and effective.

Our tests showed that the Electrolux UltraSilencer Delux EL7066 performed especially well at cleaning bare floors and removing pet hairs from carpets

Our tests showed that the Electrolux UltraSilencer Delux EL7066 performed especially well at cleaning bare floors and removing pet hairs from carpets. Additionally, it performed well at cleaning embedded-dirt particles from carpeting. Perhaps the most noteworthy feature of this canister, though, is its unbelievably quiet motor. Consumers also enjoyed the option of operating the vacuum from the handle or using their feet to power the unit. The vacuum also has adjustable suction power, meaning you can increase or decrease the vac's "pull" based on the delicacy of the surface being cleaned (less suction for sheer curtains, more for heavy upholstery). electrolux.com.Manufacturer's warranty: Limited three years for full coverage, seven years for motor.
